I think it's you right-wing nut jobs who are afraid...There's no evidence of fear in this article by Monica Hesse...
You guys are faced with such incredible losers this time you're native paranoia is ratcheted up to a high gear... Not to mention the fact that the majority of U.S. citizens who are paying attention have had it with the mean-spirited, Bill of Rights trashing, greedy, uncaring, WRONG-headed, war mongering, right-wing fascist fucks who've taken over the repuke party. You're on your way down, spiraling down the toilet into the slimy sewers from which you crawled. And it's a JOY to watch!!!! I only hope that this round of totally discrediting your useless, worthless excuses for "ideas" lasts a lot longer than the period from hoover to nixon...the last time this right-wing stupidity was tried, failed and rightfully ignored.
